George. [Standing up.] I'll go and get myself a drink. After all these alarums and excursions I really think I deserve it.
Daisy. Amah will bring it to you.
George. Oh, it doesn't matter! I can easily fetch it myself. The whisky's in the dining-room, isn't it?
Daisy. I expect so.
[He goes out. Daisy goes over to a chest which stands in the room and throws it open. She takes out the Manchu dress which Harry once gave her and handles it smilingly. She holds up in both her hands the sumptuous headdress. There is the sound of a door being locked. Daisy puts down the headdress and looks at the door enquiringly.
Daisy. [With a little smile.] What are you locking the door for, George? [The words are hardly out of her mouth before there is the report of a pistol shot. Daisy gives a shriek and rushes towards the door.] George! George! What have you done? [She beats frantically on the door.] Let me in! Let me in! George!
[The Amah comes in running from the courtyard.
Amah. What's the matter? I hear shot.
Daisy. Send the boys, quick. We must break down this door.
Amah. I send the boys away. I no want them here when Harry come.
